If possible, I'd like to hear about your typical day/week of work (is anything "typical" in your line of work?). Thanks! Edit: Typo

This is the approach I took for my side project website. The idea of installing a framework and dealing with hosting and whatnot just did not interest me. More importantly, the needs of the site are drop-dead simple so no need to install a

An oldie but goodie. This was my first exposure to CSS and the foundation for the years I taught web design to low-income high schoolers. We would all go to an end-of-the-year web design competition at the local community college. The kids

It is a real skill to critique a thing and not come off as complaining about it.

Same. I closed my FB account 16 years ago and I've never once missed it.

I'd say you should brace yourself for rides like this for the next 45 months.

Likely because I'm asking specific Python development questions, I'm getting specific answers (and typically 2-3 variations) that I can drill down into. That response is likely different than for a more general question with a wid

Appreciate your perspective. To be clear, I'm using it to become a better small game developer and not relying on it to answer anything I would classify as an "important question". Moreover, I don't take everything AI te

Agreed. I'm increasingly using ChatGPT to research topics. In that way, I can refine my question, drill down, ask for alternatives, supply my own supplementary information, etc. I think of AI as an intelligent search engine / assi

I completely agree with this. Edit: And congratulations!

I often feel this way about a lot of things where I was present during the genesis moment. Then I remind myself that I'm getting older and likely misremembering what it was really like - fun and exciting, but not very useful. Moreover,

It's difficult to put into works what the Infocom games mean to me (and likely many other 50-somethings). So many great memories curled up in a blanket spending hours mapping these games and working out the puzzles. I still play many o

I've definitely noticed the pricing for eggs at our neighborhood Trader Joes staying constant while the pricing at our neighborhood Safeway has doubled.

The most memorable project I ever did as a teenager was building a Tamiya Frog RC car with my older brother.

There are a lot of these simple soldering projects out there. Our daughters completed a few. At a minimum, they now know how to solder and have an appreciation for electrical components. That was all I was hoping for at such a young age. Sh

We did this and our girls enjoyed them, but I found it doesn't really teach much. It's mostly a "can you follow simple instructions" task. I feel like having them complete simple breadboarding / soldering projects w

Yes, $200 per year is a great deal. For those who are ok with reading digital content, Safari is where it's at, in my opinion.

Maybe consider a subscription to Safari Bookshelf instead. Everywhere I've ever worked, they've been happy to foot the bill for an annual subscription so I have a deep reference library.

+1 for FIRST. This is your path as it is structured and can also help your child build friendships with other kids interested in robotics. Additionally, participants who stick with the program through high school learn every aspect of robot

When I was a kid, a couple of us had original Splatmaster "marking pistols" and I desperately wanted to do this but as a massive paintball game. Living in the midwest, there were plenty of moderate sized woods one could utilize. W

I'm curious...when do you think the internet was "good"? What period would you say defines the so-called "golden age" of the internet? Genuinely asking.

I would love this. I've never understood why humans waste square footage on large bedrooms. Seriously, I could sleep in a closet and be perfectly happy.

This is the story of my life. I know a little about pretty much every topic ever.

Agreed. Most of those I see promoted have been those who have limited practical skills, but are very good at networking, coordinating, and delegating. They are the go-to person for managing projects, but not doing any of the lower level wor

As a fellow aspiring developer, let me share a perspective that may be helpful. I've solved a lot of algorithm challenges (LT and CW) over the years but I recently reflected on why they don't seem to be getting easier. What I real

Agreed. It took me years to accept that it's ok for coding to be my hobby and not my career.

Sure thing. The "To Read" list is always in flux as we discover new books and/or the girls weigh in on what they prefer. https://docs.google.com/document/d/10Zk9zl9I9posnzkHMEDmYK42... EDIT: Also, w
